We seem to be moving to postgresql. I find I do not like it - it's much more of a pain to work with than mysql is. Do you have any opinions about meria d/b? Are there improvements over the flaws you're aware of with mysql?
and I find mysql a real pain to work with.
the biggest difference is, postgresql is much stricter about data types. it will not, for example, allow you to store 2015-02-30 as a date. also, postgres is very strict about the atomicity of transactions, its all or nothing.
